One of the outlets in my bedroom has the top outlet connected to a

TVs/electronics into the bottom outlet that isn't connected to a wall

Actually you SHOULD plug them into a switched outlet. They you can
REALLY shut them off. All our 'vampire' devices are always really on
even though they say off. It's a waste of power.

Money-saving tips:
* Unplug clocks when not in use
* Disconnect garage door opener after leaving garage; reconnect on return.
